Swedish multinational brand Ikea opened its first store in India, in Hyderabad, on August 9 to a roaring welcome. People queued up outside the gates even before the store could throw them open. As a military band played the national anthem, thousands of visitors created a stampede-like situation to try and get a glimpse of the country's first Ikea store.
